A Knoxville, TN woman has filed a class action suit against Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, CBS, MTV and Viacom, claiming that the one-second flash of Jackson's breast has "caused millions of people to 'suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury'." (via CNN).
I almost feel guilty wasting so much space on this subject but I'm just absolutely floored by the reaction that a ONE SECOND SHOT of Janet Jackson's breast. Cory & I talked about this for nearly an hour at dinner last night and then, at the end of the discussion. I felt sort of stupid and guilty for even feeding into the hysteria - if even only at the two-person, private conversation level.
The whole thing has just made me sick - no literally. Went to the doctor yesterday to see about getting some high-strength cough medicine.
I was surprised when the doctor said she wanted to give me some high dose antibiotics - because at that point I felt OK other than the pesky little problem of it physically hurting every time I took a breath.
Sure, why not I said I don't want this to turn into bronchitis, so antibiotics will probably be a good thing.
At that point the doctor looked at me like I was stupid.
Oh you do have bronchitis she said.
Great.
And now - because my apparently my body got the memo about the same time I did - I really do feel that much sicker.
AND ...I have to work this weekend.
Tonight and Sunday night.
Not to mention homework.
Whine. Whine. Whine.
OK, time for more meds.
